The Charlotte Hornets<\/a> have been on a good run as of late, which includes the historic blowout against the Utah Jazz<\/a>. Of course, it has not been the best campaign, but the Hornets<\/a> are staying competitive.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Hornets got another blowout victory, this time against the Orlando Magic<\/a>. It was a result that showed that Charlotte can be a good team. Star wing Brandon Miller believes that the potential can be unlocked further.<\/p>\n

Miller knows the little things can boost the Hornets<\/p>\n

As a team that has star potential with three players in Miller, LaMelo Ball, and Kon Knueppel, everyone can see the Hornets’ promising squad. However, they have not tapped into that potential much this season.<\/p>\n

When they have, they get big results like the two wins against Utah and Orlando. They are not the most talented and physically gifted team, but they can outwork their opponents.<\/p>\n

The NBA is a talent-driven league, but sometimes, it is the little things that matter. Keeping the ball in bounds with superb energy or boxing out the big man.<\/p>\n

They all matter in the grand scheme of things, and they could be more significant than expected. Against the Magic<\/a>, the Hornets played well, but they also worked hard outside of scoring, which Miller loved seeing.<\/p>\n

“We won’t be the biggest team every night, but we can be the most physical team, we can be the team that talks the most on the court, and just the more prepared team,” Miller said about the Hornets’ ability to close the gap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It can be challenging for a team like the Hornets to keep up against the top teams. However, they are doing their best to maximize their opportunities by playing hard and outworking the opponents.<\/p>\n

Miller knows their talent can still be the reason for victory, but if they do not showcase their hunger for the win, that is not leading to the best results.<\/p>\n
